Coffee Break: Winter Mix
by Jill Riley and Nilufer Arsala
December 22, 2025

Monday isn’t the winter solstice, but Sunday was! The solstice marks the first official day of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and is also the shortest day (and longest night!) of the year.
The good news is that, while we are officially in the winter season, the days will get longer from here… at least until we hit the summer solstice in June. Since it’s officially winter, let’s craft a playlist full of songs for the season.
So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs related to winter would you like to hear?
